Wisden Cricket Monthly - Issue 70

この号では

The new issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out on August 17, celebrates two stunning Ashes series and includes a joint interview with England’s freewheeling openers, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett. “Somehow it just works,” says Duckett of a no-holds-barred partnership which set the tone for England this summer.
We also hear from Usman Khawaja, the leading run-scorer in the series, who talks Aadam Patel through his eventful summer and his approach to tackling “the hardest job in Test cricket”, a selection of new and returning fans tell us why they’ve fallen for the Ashes, we select the sides for the Brisbane Ashes Test of 2025, and Katya Witney reports on a women’s series which broke new ground on and off the pitch.
Elsewhere in the magazine, Kumar Sangakkara tells Mel Farrell he wishes he’d been a Bazballer, we have in-depth analysis of the ICEC report into cricket’s inequalities and examine how the game needs to change, Shaun Tait talks Saj Sadiq through his hair-raising career, and Alex Tudor and his dad Darrell tell Jo Harman how the Surrey and England quick reached the pinnacle of the game.
We also have news from all 18 counties, including interviews with Essex skipper Tom Westley and Durham’s Ollie Robinson, and the usual brilliance from our columnists: Mark Ramprakash considers the dilemma of when to retire, Andrew Miller bemoans the demise of the West Indies, Lawrence Booth asks if the rest of the world will follow Bazball’s lead, and England seamer Ollie Robinson pays tribute to Stuart Broad.
